Redeploy Program Data: Karrie Rueter addressed planned data collection changes that will take place in the near future. Specifically, the need to incorporate the usage of eCornerstone for Redeploy. Issues with the Illinois State University - Recidivism and Cost Benefit Analysis Study and Macon County data collection issues really brought this to light. Coupled with the significant success of our program, the state and national recognition, not to mention the Budgeting for Results process, moving to this web-based system will allow us to better demonstrate our results and to effectively monitor and track the work of the sites. Once implementation begins, sites would no longer have to complete monthly report and it would significantly reduce the size of the annual report. The data analysis potential and reliability will significantly increase.

FY13 Funding - YNC Funds Workgroup Report/Status: Rob Vickery gave an update: of the additional $41,060 of Redeploy funds that the RIOB added to the YNC contract at the last meeting. The approximate $66,000 in current unobligated YNC Redeploy funds will expire June 30, 2013. The Ad Hoc group formed at the last meeting met and discussed ways in which this money could be appropriately expended. Correctional Program Checklist (CPC) Training ($15,000), Redeploy Illinois Website Enhancement ($1500), Technical Assistance and Training for the Second Circuit on Trauma Screening ($5000) and SPARCS Training ($30,000) were all items the Ad Hoc group had discussed. After much discussion with the full RIOB, Rob agreed to reach out to providers about the possibility of funding summer employment programs with this money as well. Rob will meet again with the Ad Hoc group and report back at the next meeting.

They have completed site visits with the 2nd and 4th Circuits and are set to visit St. Clair County on May 24th. Christian Social Services is currently reviewing files in each County and will draft a report. In Cook County, the grant has been accepted by the County Board and they are in the process of working through the contracts with Loyola University. Loyola is in receipt of the contracts and has requested a few changes to be made to the contract. Cook County staff are waiting for this information to be changed and for the final contract to be signed.
